Hello, I'm Amy Kong.
The founder and qualified counsellor of Amythyst Counselling.
Having navigated two cultures myself, I understand the quiet complexity of balancing family expectations, identity, and well-being. I was born in Hong Kong and raised in the UK - an experience that has shaped my approach to therapy, particularly when supporting clients in navigating multicultural experiences on a personal level and within relationships.
I offer therapy in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, creating a space for those who may encounter language or cultural barriers in traditional settings. My goal is to provide a safe and confidential environment where you can explore what’s on your mind and reconnect with yourself.
I believe therapy is not about “fixing” you, but it’s about having a space, helping you understand yourself deeply, and moving forward with greater clarity and self-trust. You're not alone in this. I’m here to walk alongside you.
My professional background:
- RELATE Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Counselling
- MSc Psychological Wellbeing and Mental Health
- MA Psychology
- Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training
- Domestic Abuse Awareness Training
- Understanding & Working with Neurodiversity Training


Why 'Amythyst'?
The name Amythyst tells two stories.
First, it comes from the gemstone amethyst. People have long seen it as a symbol of calm, clarity, and healing - feelings I hope you find here too.
The different spelling Amythyst is a gentle reminder that there isn’t just one way to be in life and in your relationships. The cultures you are from, and the cultural backgrounds of you and your partner, don’t always fit neatly together.
Like the stone’s many shades, your story is made up of all your experiences, challenges, and perspectives. In counselling, we don’t try to hide or erase those differences - we welcome them and look for the strengths within them.
Amythyst Counselling is about honouring your whole story - where you’ve come from, where you are now, and where you’re heading towards.
